A Monograph of Culicidae. 
brown flat spatulate scales ; mesonotum light and delicate, with 
two siSall submedian or lateral brown spots (not scaled), about 
one-third the length of the mesonotum from the head, sometimes 
another pair just cephalad-lateral to these, a suggestion of a 
brown median line, the whole (except spots) covered with white 
slender hair-like curved scales, a few small flat curved or 
spatulate scales scattered throughout, more noticeable lateral, 
especially cephalad of the wing joint, and at the nape growing 
into a tuft of long flat curved spatulate scales, a dark median 
spot in front of the scutellum; scutellum dark in the middle, side 
light, brown bristles; pleura light, with some brown lines; 
metanotum light, with median brown stripe. 
Abdomen light or dirty grey, sparsely covered with long flat 
spatulate white or yellow scales and white or light yellow bristles, 
heavy lateral tufts of long brown broadly truncate scales on most 
(6) of the segments, the last segment more heavily white scaled. 
Legs ; coxae light, sparsely covered with long spatulate white 
scales, and white bristles ; trochanters light, mostly brown 
scaled; femora of the fore legs somewhat thickened at the base, 
in all legs covered with irregular bands or spots of brown and 
white, and have a very narrow white apical band; tibiae mottled 
in the same way, first tarsal (metatarsi) joint also mottled, and 
has narrow apical light bands more marked on the hind legs; 
remainder of tarsal joints on fore and mid legs more or less 
distinctly mottled and having narrow apical light bands • on the 
hind legs the second tarsal has a broad apical white band, the 
third broad apical and basal white bands, the fourth and fifth 
marked in the same way ; ungues simple and equal. 
Wings light, and mostly light scaled, on the costa are two 
tiny basal dark spots, four large brown spots, and a tiny brown 
spot between the two more proximal larger spots, all of which 
extend on the first long vein, and an analogous intermediate spot 
on the first long vein. Wing field somewhat spotted, but mostly 
light scaled ; a dark spot on each fork of the second long vein, 
third long vein light except small spots at the apex and near its 
base, two small spots on the forks of the fourth, and a couple on 
the stem, three small spots on upper fork of fifth, one on the 
lower fork, stem light except that close to the base is a small 
dark spot, sixth has three small spots, and the wing fringe is 
spotted between the junctions of every vein.
